On July 10, 2005 Chris Anderson gave his OK for archive.org:
"Greetings,
This is just a quick note to grant permission to host live and archival recordings of myself. Anyone with live recordings of me may upload whatever they have or see fit to add, and I will also be adding recordings from my personal archive for all to download and enjoy, for free. I think the live archive is an absolutely amazing and wonderful thing. I have downloaded countless shows from the site, over the years, and I figure the least I can do is add a few of my own to the archive for others to enjoy.
thanks,
chris anderson
